Abstract: There is provided an information processing device and an information processing method that enable speeding up of a responsivity of a system response to a speech of a user. The information processing device includes a processing unit configured to determine, on the basis of a result of semantic analysis that is to be obtained from an interim result of speech recognition of a speech of a user, presence or absence of a response to the speech of the user. It thereby becomes possible to speed up a responsivity of a system response to the speech of the user. The present technology can be applied to a speech dialogue system, for example.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing device and an information processing method that enable the intention of a speech of a user to be estimated more accurately. The information processing device includes: a detection unit configured to detect a breakpoint of a speech of a user on the basis of a result of recognition that is to be obtained during the speech of the user; and an estimation unit configured to estimate an intention of the speech of the user on the basis of a result of semantic analysis of a divided speech sentence obtained by dividing a speech sentence at the detected breakpoint of the speech. The present technology can be applied, for example, to a speech dialogue system.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus and a non-transitory computer readable medium are disclosed. The electronic apparatus comprising, a processor and a memory having program code stored thereon, the program code being such that, when it is executed by the processor, it causes the processor to: control display of a plurality of parameter-setting display layers, each having arranged therein at least one parameter-setting-widget selected from a collection of parameter-setting-widgets that relate to values of imaging parameters, where at least one of the plurality of parameter-setting display layers has more than one of the parameter-setting-widgets arranged therein.

Abstract: To enable more appropriate assistance for input to an information processing apparatus. Provided is an information processing apparatus including: an acquisition unit that acquires text information in the middle of performance of input; and an input-candidate extraction unit that extracts a candidate for the input on the basis of attribute information that is extracted on the basis of the text information.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are capable of controlling the output of the system utterance upon the occurrence of barge-in utterance and enabling a smooth interactive between a user and the system. Fade processing is applied to lower at least one of volume, a speech rate, or a pitch (voice pitch) of system utterance from a starting time of the barge-in utterance acting as the user interruption utterance during executing the system utterance. Even after the completion of the fade processing, the output state upon completing the fade processing is maintained. In a case where the system utterance level is equal to or less than the predefined threshold during the fade processing, the system utterance is displayed on a display unit. One of stop, continuation, and rephrasing is executed based on an intention of the barge-in utterance and whether an important word is included in in the system utterance.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus including a text extraction unit that extracts selection candidate text from a text string displayed on a display screen, and a selection area placement unit that places selectable areas for the selection candidate text on the display screen in a manner that the selectable areas differ from a display area of the selection candidate text.
